European Projects - Horizon2020

Open access pilot lines development for industrial production of nano-enabled products (buckypapers, CNT treated prepreg and CNT doped non-woven veils) for applications in composite parts for sectors such as Aeronautic and Automotive. The purpose of the project is to efficiently and economically manufacture the components using novel nanomaterials at a scale suitable for industrial uptake.

SUN is based on the hypothesis that the current knowledge on environmental and health risks of nanomaterials,
whilst limited, can nevertheless guide nanomanufacturing to avoid future liabilities, provided that an integrated
approach that addresses the complete product lifecycle of production, use and disposal is applied.

The innovative idea of NANOGUMMI is to replace a part of CB loading of the formulation by a smaller loading of CNT. In that case, mechanical properties of materials would be improved of at least 10 % thanks to CNT’s higher surface area than CB, and synergistic effect of both fillers would have an impressive effect on mechanical, dynamical and thermal properties. Furthermore, combining use of CB and CNT would also provide electrical conductivity to the new material.
